It's definitely better than anything he's done in years. It sort of sounds like a career retrospective type of album (just the Danzig years, no
Misfits or Samhain). There's stuff that sounds like it came off Circle of Snakes but there's also stuff that sounds like it came off How the God's
Kill or Danzig IV. If you like any of his stuff then I'd recommend it.

See I didn't like the 4th one when it was released and that's where he lost me. I came back to his music like the prodigal son about 5 years ago and
the 4th one had aged well and hooked me then. So maybe it's worth another listen to see if the same rings true for you?

The new one is definitely the best one since IV....I mean EASILY. It's not bad, not bad at all. The production is a tad muddy and not the greatest,
but in a way, it kinda works with the overall vibe of the album. And the second track, The Revengeful or whatever it's called sucks mainly due to
shitty Tommy Victor's overabuse of those damn pinch harmonics. I HATE pinch harmonics and Victor is almost like a Zakk Wylde Jr. at times. God I wish
Danzig had a better guitar player on this and it would probably be that much better. But considering who it is and considering the fact that Danzig
has been pretty mediocre since IV, this was actually a pleasant surprise IMO. After only 2 spins, I would give it about a 7 out of 10, which is not
bad, not bad at all.....

I think you just hit on something that's probably been the problem all along. John Christ was a viruoso guitarist. That's probably what's been missing
all these years. I've never really been able to put my finger on it. The riffs are still cool. The vocals are still cool. But there has been something
missing and I bet that's it. Jerry Cantrell played on V but that album was so .... fucked with.... that his playing wouldn't have been able to shine.
I did like VI though. I think that one is underrated.

I love every Danzig album except Danzig V. I thought that was licked balls. VI is seriously underrated. I'm looking forward to checking out the new
one.

I haven't really checked out anything since Danzig 4.
I heard that blackacidevil thing and didn't care for it one bit.
that's probably the last time i checked it out.
I have this one friend who has a man crush or something on Danzig.
buys every damn thing he can get his hands on

Am I missing something? I hated all the songs I heard from 1994 on.... Seriously it all sounded like a cheesy nin cover band.

danzig 4 i did not like.
everything before that, including black aria, definitely.
mike inhuman was saying the same thing - if you're a fan of 1-3 to check it out.
haven't yet, but will do.
is there a stream somewhere?
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

I saw his live show tonight. Someone needs to stop the guitar player from playing so many pitch harmonics. Other than that, they sounded EXACTLY like
the old records all the way down to the drum fills and guitar fills. Just too many bends from the records turned into pitch harmonics. The set list
mix was excellent. The new stuff fit right in like the old.
Doyle's band opened and I was let down that they didn't jam out some Misfits tunes at the end.

You know its not that bad. I cna't speak for the other stuff after 94 but this is good. I listened to the entire record too.

Listened to the first 2 songs...is the guitar player playing an Atari? Why does it sound like that? Danzing sound surprisingly good...but the music...
